Porsche Taycan EV: This is not the first recall
This is not the first time that the Porsche Taycan EV has faced problems. Earlier, in June this year, the carmaker had recalled every single Taycan globally due to possible brake failure. The automaker said the affected Taycan EV will display a warning light on the dashboard. The carmaker did not disclose the exact number of Taycan EVs affected by the recall at the time, but the recall affected more than 150,000 units of the EV worldwide. The automaker said there was an issue related to the front brake hoses, with a small number of Taycan EVs developing cracks that could cause brake fluid to leak, reducing brake pressure and system effectiveness.
